Question On Notice No. 2099 asked in the Legislative Council on 7 May 2019 by Hon Diane Evers

Question Directed to the: Minister for Environment; Disability Services; Electoral Affairs
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
Tabled Paper No: 2769- View tabled paper


Question

I refer to the Minister's response to question on notice No. 1900 about the 2004-2013 Forest Management Plan, in which he states that although the Government does not undertake a forest-wide cumulative review of timber removals against predictions, records are kept of the timber yield by species and log grade from cut-over coupes versus the predicted yield from those coupes, and I ask:
(a) will the Minister please provide:
(i) the numerical record detailing predicted species volumes and log grades per year for each cut-over coupe; and
(ii) the numerical record detailing the actual species volumes and log grades obtained from each cut-over coupe per year; and
(b) will the Minister provide the “comprehensive review of predictions . . . performed as part of the calculation of the sustained yield estimates for each Forest Management Plan” for the 2014-2023 Forest Management Plan?

Answered on 11 June 2019

(a)(i)    This question should be directed to the Minister for Forestry.

(a)(ii)   This question should be directed to the Minister for Forestry.

(b)       See tabled paper no. # which is the Background Note - Inventory detailing the review of predictions (and subsequent adjustments) performed as part of the calculation of the sustained yields for the Forest Management Plan 2014-2023.

See tabled paper no. # which is the report of the independent expert panel that reviewed the sustained yield calculations. Section 3.5 of the report also discusses the reconciliation of estimated against actual volumes harvested.
